章 874: Relevant Information

Orion nodded thoughtfully before turning to Patriarch Rylan. "There's something I've been meaning to discuss with you but haven't found the time," he mentioned.

"What is it?" Patriarch Rylan's interest was piqued.

Orion elaborated on the Village's efforts to collect wires and metal scraps, particularly those of the warriors, who, during their exploration, scouted new lands and brought back broken parts for the Four-eared elves to exchange for services when their caravan arrived.

Hearing Orion's question, Patriarch Rylan nodded in understanding. "I see why you're asking. Accepting only Kalna fruits as payment might have seemed suspicious, so we added metal scraps to make the trade appear more balanced. These scraps weren't useless, though. Scavenging for metals is a thriving business. Once refurbished, they can be used to repair parts of the Runaway City or traded lucratively with other Runaway Cities in need," he explained.
